The Misadventures of O and J : Prenup

We approached our prenup shoot differently, O and I. Having nothing but an idea, a makeup artist and a photographer, I was nervous in anticipation of the day while O viewed it excitedly as an adventure. You see, we both agreed that we wanted our shoot to be something that displays who we really are so we wanted it to show (as much as possible) our daily routine as a couple. The problem is our daily routine involves a lot of MRT rides and walks in Makati.

For people who has planned any kind of photoshoot, they'll most likely agree that Metro Manila is not the friendliest place for photographers. To be able to capture something with your DSLRs you have to have permits and permits costs you money, sometimes, A LOT of money. With our "practical sides" kicking in, we went ahead with the shoot with no permits whatsoever, just a vaguely cooked plan :P 

We started D-day at about 9am. After I got made up and O got powdered up, we made our way to our first pitstop/location. After seeing Gail, O's talented brother and our photographer from Foreveryday Photography, O said a quick prayer for the day's events. We then started the shoot. 

The day brought us a lot of nice and quirky revelations. O and I both learned that we are capable of smiling at the camera while on the look out for people who might tell us off. We also learned we are all capable of acting, especially if it will prevent you from being caught. I realized that passersby are the coolest background for a "dramatic" shot. O sensed I get stressed out by strangers looking at us while the shoot goes on while I pointed out to O that he gets a bit conscious when he knows the cameras are snapping away. The greatest find however is seeing that O and I still manage to bring out the nicest smiles and sweetest looks even with the things that surround us JUST because we're with each other.
